A play-finisher whose motor doesn’t stop until the whistle is blown, Mausser’s physicality and mean streak on the football field are reminiscent of Trevor Penning’s play while at Northern Iowa. If Mausser has a chance to put somebody on their butt for his offense to move another another inch, he’ll do it.

The 6’1″ and 255 pound guard has plenty of room to grow and good weight to add to his frame. An excellent recruit to add to the program build Joe Woodley is currently in the process of with Drake, getting a homegrown recruit that plays with the ferocity that Mausser does is a win for the former Grandview head man.

The Vikings went 14-0 and won the NAIA national championship last fall, and Woodley will look to replicate that success in the Pioneer League at the FCS level.

Joe Mausser Joe Mausser 6'1" | 230 lbs | OL WDM Valley | 2026 State IA certainly has a smaller frame among the blockers on this list, but he’s been very reliable as an interior-lineman, helping WDM Valley rank in the top-5 in Class 5A in both total offensive yards and touchdowns. Mausser is consistently moving around on the line and looking for defenders to run down and make a block on. Mausser’s smaller frame gives him more athleticism and speed than his fellow blockers, noting the sub-5 second 40 yard dash, but he plays with the same level of physicality and strength as anyone on the trenches. Mauser has built up to 255 lbs this offseason, and he holds 3 collegiate offers, including a D2 offer from Upper Iowa. Mausser is making a strong case to show that he can hold his own and has what it takes to take his skills to the next level.
